MRV Communications announced the In-Reach LX-4048S, a secure
console server designed for remote management duties. The LX-4048S is
driven by the In-Reach Operating System (IROS), a Linux-based OS
tuned for performance, security and reliability. With up to 48
ports available, In-Reach is designed to manage and control large
data centers and clustered computing environments. In-Reach offers a
secure remote site presence, with serial connectivity, console, power
and alarm management capabilities contained in a single box. Internal
modem options also are available in all port densities. All models use
32-bit RISC embedded processors. Security features include per-port
password protection, RADIUS, PPP dial-back and various other options.

The AlterPath ACS1 is a compact single-port console server used
to connect serial devices to a TCP/IP network. Typical applications
include branch office management, retail automation and IP enabling
of legacy serial devices. Dual PCMCIA slots allow for enhanced
functionality with support for many interface cards, such as Ethernet,
modem (V.90, GSM, CDMA and ISDN) and wireless LAN. The ACS1 uses
PowerPC dual CPUs to transfer data from a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface
to the RS-232/RS-485 serial interface and back, enabling communication
between the serial device and the network. The ACS1 supports SSHv2
(Secure Shell) for security in data connections.
